Historical of Mervyn Kowalsky

My parents met at Cornell and were married on Oct. 2, 1953 in Watermargin. My father, Mervyn Kowalsky ’54, BS ILR ’53, graduated from ILR, and my mother, Nancy Sonn ’56, was attending what is now Human Ecology. She got her degree much later (1980) from CALS.

The first photo is the Nixon family at my daughter Spencer’s graduation this past May. My son, Blair, Hotel ’15, is in the foreground.
